ATTACK! 15th Anniversary Review | The "EC-Drew" Entrance & A Historic Main Event | EP88Andy is finally back from Cardiff (after a 5-hour trek that somehow takes longer than getting to Manchester) and we’re diving into the absolute madness that was the ATTACK! 15th Anniversary show.600 people crammed into the venue, "Sex Bomb" medleys for Paul London, and a main event that genuinely felt like a massive deal for the UK scene. We’re breaking it all down, from the matches that exceeded expectations to the "goofy wrestling" moments that make ATTACK! what it is.What we’re talking about:The Main Event: Dani Luna and Kanji proving they aren’t just the best "women" wrestlers, but two of the best in the world, full stop.The "EC-Drew" Entrance.The Return of Eddie Dennis: A massive pop in the middle of the Mark Andrews vs Josh Holly "Courtroom Brawl."That Head Bump: Tommy Vril vs Kara Noir was a "ballet of violence" but had us genuinely worried for a second.The Weird & Wonderful Rumble: Including Leon Cage, Sexy E... Matt Gatlin, Simon Miller’s surprise, CAW, the the Love-Making Demon , and more.Title Changes: New Tag Champs, a 24/7 shocker, and the crowning of a new World Champion.If you weren’t in that room, you missed a celebration. If you were, let’s relive the chaos.💬 Let us know in the comments:Was the trek to Cardiff worth it? What was your match of the night? And how loud was it actually in that venue?🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539Chapters:00:00 Back from Cardiff: The 600-Fan Atmosphere02:55 Tommy Vril vs. Kara Noir (The "Head Bump" Match)06:03 ATTACK!

We are BACK.After releasing at least one episode every single week since day one, we’ve finally had our first unintended break… two whole weeks.Life happened. But we’re back in the saddle.And what a week to return.This episode we dive headfirst into:🔥 Swerve Strickland’s full heel turn – necessary? Perfect? Is Nana in danger?🔥 The Death Riders / Callis vortex – who’s actually coming out better?🔥 Wheeler Yuta discourse (yes… somehow we did 15 minutes on Yuta).🔥 Andrade being on absolute FIRE – push him to the moon or risk cooling him off?🔥 Tekla, Mercedes, Toni, Willow and the absolute madness of the women’s division.🔥 Bucks vs FTR AGAIN (and why that’s not a bad thing).🔥 Revolution card predictions.🔥 The mystery box… Danhausen? Joe Hendry? The Rock? The Gobbledygooker?Somewhere along the way:🧈 WWE became a metaphor involving overpriced supermarket butter.🧈 Hook’s leadership credentials were questioned aggressively.🧈 Things got heated… because we actually care.AEW feels alive.WWE feels… expensive and spreadable.And we’re arguing because wrestling is supposed to make you feel something.🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.

Episode 83 is a one-hour, two-man deep dive with Brett and Dan, getting properly honest about where AEW is thriving — and where it’s actively holding itself back.We start on a long-overdue soapbox rant about AEW’s women’s division: why it feels like it’s regressed despite having the talent, what “good enough” booking looks like in 2026, and why this week feels like the right time for at least two title changes if AEW is serious about resetting the table.From there, we zoom out into AEW’s wider storytelling issues — character consistency, start-stop momentum, and the growing need for a hard ROH / AEW brand split to stop everything bleeding into everything else. We also talk roster growth, what’s actually working right now, and why Andrade El Idolo and Tommaso Ciampa somehow feel hotter than they ever did in the Black & Gold era.There’s fantasy booking too: how Jay White and Buddy Matthews should return, why Australia feels like the perfect stage, and what the Hangman–Swerve–Omega dynamic tells us about AEW’s main event future heading into Revolution.We also touch on AEW announcing Double or Nothing 2026 in New York City, Brett’s home turf, and the genuinely intriguing idea of Zohran Mamdani involvement.And finally: if AJ Styles did arrive in AEW — a big if — we lay out the dream matches that would actually make it worth doing.Thoughtful criticism, clear ideas, and no bad-faith nonsense.🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #AEWDynamite #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast #TonyKhan #WillOspreay #AJStyles #AEWGrandSlam #GrandSlamAustralia #AEWRevolution #FTR #JonMoxley #BryanDanielson #KennyOmega #ProWrestling #WrestlingTalk #IndieWrestling

Episode 82 is a two-man chaos shift as Wrestling Mark and Andy do what they “never” do and start with WWE, ripping into the Royal Rumble, the lifeless booking, and why so many ex-AEW names feel like they’ve been dropped into a punishment ritual instead of treated like stars. We talk Roman winning, the weird timing around Triple H criticism, and why it might finally feel like Dwayne Johnson is lining up a power move.Then we flip to AEW and get properly honest: not bad faith, not tribalism, just the reality that AEW set the bar so high that “good matches” alone doesn’t hit the same anymore. We break down the Death Riders hangover, rotating pushes, why some big moments have felt flatter than they should, and what AEW needs to do to get that “I have to stay up till 3am” feeling back.On the upside, there are real signs of life: the main event scene is stacked, Andrade feels reborn, Ricochet’s cooking , and we fantasy-book the most obvious (and most exciting) move possible: AJ Styles in AEW, with a proper run and a retirement done right.Also: hair vs hair predictions, women’s division frustration, and yes, White Castle catches strays again.🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW#AEWDynamite#WrestlingPodcast#GroupchatWrestlingPodcast#AJStyles#RoyalRumble#WWERumble#AEWvsWWE#TonyKhan#HangmanPage#KennyOmega#SwerveStrickland#ProWrestling#WrestlingTalk#IndieWrestling#TNA
